Long weekend retreat with extended family
Chris8669  Le Vesinet, France
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We spent a long weekend in may at port guillaume and really liked it. the owners are very friendly and helpful , the apartment is filled with useful information and everyhting you could possibly need for your stay, it is beautifully decorated and has great views of the tides on the sanctuary. With our 2 little kids it was very easy to walk to the nice white sandy beaches of Cabourg, a nice playground is close, the old Market on saturdays in dives amazing. We would definitely come again!

OUR STAY AT DIVES SUR MER
Narrow  Sydney Australia
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Very pleased with the experience. Lovely modern apartment very well equipped with a great outlook over the Dives Estuary. interesting walks are in easy proximity to the apartment. The apartment complex is very secure with excellent parking and the apartment is quite in terms of insulation with very little noise from neighbouring units. It is located close to appealing villages, supermarkets etc for travel by car. The apartment is also handy to regional attractions whether located near the sea or inland. We found the apartment very clean and well maintained. Weather in late April was a bit problematic and not conducive to swimming. Would be completely different in warmer weather. Would recommend the property to a friend.

Happy Holiday in Dive
petes english  North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a great week this August (2008), the apartment was superb; well equipped, clean and spacious. The view from the apartment was lovely, changing each day with the tides. Apartment is idealy situated for trips to the D Day Beaches and also the lovely towns and beaches of Deauville & Trouville. Fantastic Saturday market in Dives sur Mer, and a great Thursday market in Houlgate, 10 minutes walk away. My children liked the nearby Mini Golf in Cabourg. We had a nice road train ride around Cabourg (at one point some of the local older resident of the town came out and rang a bell whilst waving to the passengers! - we thought it very quaint. We tried all the nearby restaurants and they were all of a very good quality and reasonably priced. We would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment - its of great quality and is in a great location.

Relaxing week in Normandy
efc67  Edinburgh
Review Submitted: August 8, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Had a wonderful week at the apartment. Very clean and well equipped. Lovely pool (albeit a bit cool on first entry) just outside the building, very secure and walking distance from beaches etc in Cabourg and Houlgate. A great base to explore Normandy from.
Suitable for someone with disabilities. We took our disabled daughter and it was more than adequate - Excellent access to the apartment, pool and undergound parking. The down stairs bedroom and bathroom, meant that we didn't need to carry her up the very precarious, spiral staircase (not for the feint hearted on the way down).
The lack of a bath (there are two showers) made washing her awkward but a very minor negative point in a plethora of positives.
Would definately recommend the apartment to our friends and family.

Lovely apartment

Review Submitted: May 7, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Spent a week beginning of May in spacious apartment, very new and clean with everything you need away from home- Beautiful setting on the Cote de Fleur and with-in walking distance of 3 towns (Dives, Cabourg and Houlgate). Also ideal base to explore Calvados and rest of Normandy. With bad weather large choice of DVD's as well as excelent selection of books to enjoy. Even got a bottle of French wine from the owners on arrival!
